This looks pretty cool to me. I expected it to be harder to encode xarray into zarr. Some thoughts/comments:

  1. Is it harder to encode a full xarray into zarr? Are there cases that are not covered by this example that are likely to occur in the wild (mostly a question for @shoyer)
  2. I guess one major thing missing is storing full Dataset objects rather than just DataArrays. I suspect that scientific users want to keep all of the variables and coordinates in a single artifact
  3. It would be nice to avoid using pickle if possible, so that the data could be cross-language.
  4. How open is the XArray community to adding experimental to/from_zarr methods?
  5. Eventually we probably want to do lazy_value = da.store(..., compute=False) and then compute all of them at once
